Research direction

Start by reproducing the problem with the linked dummy project, running Spring Boot and Vite, then inspect the asset URLs used after /__devtools/embedded.js is mounted. Trace why DevTools requests assets from localhost:8080 instead of the Vite server at localhost:5173; done means the DevTools error page and its assets load from the Vite origin.
